Try leaving the box unplugged for a while.
If that doesn`t work, look in the menu system for "RESET" or "RESTORE DEFAULTS" or something like that...
Sometimes Reset buttons are hidden inside and you can only press them using a pen point through a small hole. There might also be a button combination on the remote that resets the unit (less likely as if the unit needs to be reset, it might not respond to the remote).

It could be that the receiver is not in sync with your cable provider yet, and signal is not being received by the receiver that you have. Now, you need to call your cable company to advise them that you have a new receiver so they can detect it on their end and get it working.
